With deep sadness, we share the news that Rose Paul, Montessorian, catechist and CGS formation leader, died on July 11, 2018. Rose was trained by Sofia Cavalletti and one of the founding members of the National Association, as is evident in the early issues of the Annual Journal.

Join ChurchLife Host, Leonard DeLorenzo as he talks to Mary Mirrione, National Director, CGSUSA. Mary talks about the relationship between God and the child, and the importance of hands-on materials for encountering the world in the light of the Gospel.
